Subsidiary Aims

Procedure (35-45 minutes)

-I would like it if everyone only spoke english in this lesson (hmmmm...) ...is that possible
-Ask if anyone remembers my name > write name on board
-If I can remember all of your names, I would be very happy
-How was everyones weekend? Would anyone like to share what they did....

-Refer back to the previous lesson and ask what they think about working for a newspaper > if anyone has or still does?
-Ask Ss what they think it will be like to be a journalist > Elicit a few ideas
-Ask Ss if they even know what a journalist is...? > Elicit > "a person who writes and works for the news"

Speaking (8-10 minutes) • To engage Ss on what journalism is about and to get a feel of what the job is through questionnaire. To emphasise on pronunciation of "Would you"

-Tell Ss they are going to find out a bit more about what they think about journalism.
-Put the Ss into pairs (PW) > Student A & Student B and tell them to ask 5
questions & answer 5 questions on the questionnaire & take short notes of their partner's answers
-BEFORE they start, drill the question "Would you like to be a journalist?" > make sure pronunciation of "would you" is natural
-Time limit: 5minutes
-ICQ- Are we going to work alone? Are we going to take brief notes of partners? How long have you got?
-Give HO
-Ss work together to ask & answer the questions & share their ideas about journalism
-Monitor
-Take brief WC FB (don't spend much time as it comes up later)

-Elicit from Ss what all the questions have in common - "would"
-Make 3 columns on W/B and use as headings: hypothetical future, advice/suggestions & like/love/prefer
-Elicit the meaning of "Hypothetical" by taking out 1000 lira visual and ask what is this? Is it true? -CCQ- So its real? (No its unreal), So I would like to have this to but its not possible? (Yes) > Act out "I would love to fly", "If I were rich, I would buy a porche"-but ...... Get Ss to elicit
-So this is called hypothetical "something unreal/imaginary"
-Ask the Ss which meaning Question1 has
-Re-group Ss according to colour of paper
-GW to match the other questions with their meaning/use (3mins)
-Give instructions that they will now do an activity > When they think they have all the answers 1 person from each group to get up and put 1 Question up at a time and then rotate to the next person until all their questions are up on the WB (3mins)
-ICQ > Is everyone going to come up to the board at once? (No) How many questions at a time? (1)
-Give HO (cut outs) for Ss to place them in column on WB where they think is right
-WC FB > check their answers are correct
-Explain to Ss the meanings of each way they can use would (hypothetical future: to give an opinion about an unreal situation, to ask for and offer advice or suggestions, to express preferences with like/love/prefer etc.)

Focus on form (5-6 minutes) • To get Ss to know the differece between would & had

-Who knows the difference between would and had? > Elicit from Ss
-Write on WB the following sentences and elicit the difference
-Would: something we do/don't want to happen but hasn't happened
>Eg; I would cook dinner when my father came home
-Had: action finished in the past and had result in the past
>Eg; I had cooked dinner, when my father came home
-CCQ
-Explain that ['d] can either mean would or had (She'd, He'd, I'd)
-Give instructions for Ss to work in pairs PW to replace ['d] with would or had in ex1 > circle what they think is the correct answer
-Give HO and time limit of 3mins
-Monitor
-WC FB and give answers

Controlled practice (4-5 minutes) • For Ss to get familiar with how and where they can use TL

-Before lesson, have answer keys on the walls for Ss to check answers after activity
-Tell Ss the next HO is a conversation between two people >A & B
-Ss to work in pairs PW to complete the gaps in ex2 with the appropriate verb >tell Ss to complete quickly
-Monitor
-Tell them to get up and check answers

Freer practice/speaking (5-5 minutes) • To engage Ss to speak to eachother and see if they had similar ideas

-Regroup Ss - tell them to find a new partner (1xA & 1xB)
-Ss to compare answers to the questions they answered in the Questionnaire in Stage 2
-Get Ss to TELL each other about their partner's ideas about journalism & find out if any Ss had similar ideas. > Discuss in groups on your table
-Monitor for use of TL - DONT INTERFERE >(make notes of any errors)
-Take FB on what they found out about each other & anything they had in common (For eg; two Ss would like to work in America)

Delayed FB (if time) (1-1 minutes) • To show errors so Ss can correct them

-T to put some errors on WB that was noted earlier
-Ss to correct them WC FB
